The Saints will have to disrupt the timing of Jared Goff. Goff got rid of the ball with one of the league's fastest releases at 2.57 seconds. Goff does not like to move, and if he can be forced off his platform and his timing disrupted, the Saints can impose their will on the Lions offense.

Goff's 2.57s release and immobility are Saints' defensive target in Week 1.

Goff's elite release speed (2.57 seconds, among the league's fastest) and immobility create a vulnerability against the Saints defense; the source notes that if the Saints can force Goff off his platform and disrupt his timing, they can impose their will on the Lions offense. This is a specific defensive game plan targeting Goff's mechanics and lack of mobility.
